11.1 Water supply, general
Fill the water tank with fresh water only.
If the vehicle is not heated when there is risk of frost, empty the entire water
system. Leave the water taps on in central position. Leave all drain cocks
open. This will avoid frost damage to appliances and to the vehicle.
The water pump will overheat without water and can get damaged. Never
operate water pump when the water tank is empty.
Clean the water tank thoroughly before use.
The vehicle is equipped with a fitted water tank. An electric water pump pumps
the water to the individual water taps. Opening a water tap automatically
switches on the water pump and pumps water to the tap.
The waste water tank collects the waste water. The water level in the water
and waste water tanks can be checked on the panel.
Before using the water fittings, the 12 V power supply on the panel must be
switched on. Otherwise the water pump will not work.
Water left standing in the water tank or in the water pipes becomes undrinkable
after a short period. For this reason, rinse the water pipes and the
water tank thoroughly with several litres of fresh water before each use of
the vehicle. To do this, open all water taps. After each use of the vehicle
completely empty the water tank and the water pipes.
